Our new favorite pasta sauce, as we really enjoy the spicy kick! I'll often add some fresh mushrooms to the onion and garlic saute and stretch that cook time to four minutes, and add a can of petite diced tomatoes to make the sauce even heartier. Dried herbs are just fine too. I use 1/2 of what the recipe calls for when using dried. And don't usually bother with the capers. Play with it and adjust as you please, you can't go wrong!

I really have never liked squash or zucchini types of vegetables, but there was so much positives about spaghetti squash, I decided to try it. I found this recipe and put it to the test. I added chopped tomatoes to get rid of them and followed everything else as written. This recipe is very easy and pretty quick, my squash was done in the oven ahead of time. I was scared to try the microwave as some comments stated. I was only disappointed that squash is so watery, which is probably one of the reasons I never liked it. Like okra, if you don't have it made correctly when you first try it, you will hate it forever...at least I usually do. I put free mozzarella on it and really liked it. I love the sauce and will likely put it on some fettuccine at some point. I will also cut down a little on the cayenne. This does not take the place of pasta If that is truly what you want, but it is great as a way to enjoy a fun meal in place of a standard pasta dish to save on some calories and carbs. Thanks for the recipe and for helping me to Try something I never would have a year ago.

WARNING!!: I followed the suggestion a reviewer made to cook the squash in the microwave. I used a common glass casserole dish I'd used a zillion times in the oven, and I'm positive it must have been microwave safe. After about 12 min it was done, I took it out, set it on the counter and BAM! it shattered into a million little pieces.

Really loved this recipe! I had never made spaghetti squash before and was afraid I might screw up the texture but it was perfect- it does take a long time in the oven, though. Followed the recipe very closely but added half a can of tomato sauce, upped the oregano, fresh parsley, and garlic. I used tofurky Italian sausage instead of turkey and it matched the flavors beautifully! I also added basil while the sauce was simmering, and I tossed the squash with a tiny amount of butter, sugar, and salt before combining everything. This dish was satisfying but quite low in calories. Thanks for the recipe- I'll definitely be making this again!
